The V Strom's getting a new front tire, a new chain, oil change just before we go, and maybe a new drivers back rest.
Loaded down I can do 150 miles between gas stops, but if we hit a head wind, 180 might be pushing it. If one of us runs out of gas it will cost us 2 hours., not to mention the danger involved.
I'm good with 5 to 8 over on the speed limit.
Tricker, Oakdale is small with what looks like only one option for gas, so I felt it would offer less chance of confusion.
